A line stops when one operator is missing. A biometric attendance system (also called a fingerprint attendance machine or time attendance system) records who arrived, and when, with their own finger or face. For factories and manufacturing plants, that means fast fingerprint or face check at shift change, and overtime and shift allowances applied automatically.
Key takeaways
- Fast fingerprint or face check at shift change
- Overtime and shift allowances applied automatically
- HR sees headcount in real time
- Qyvea supplies, installs and trains your team.

07Frequently asked questions
Is it fast enough for shift change?
Yes. Place enough terminals for your headcount; a fingerprint or face check takes a second or two.
Can it handle dusty or rough hands?
Face recognition or cards help when fingerprints are worn. Many plants offer both.
Can it feed payroll?
Yes. Reports export hours, lateness and overtime for payroll.
Does it work in a power cut or without internet?
Yes. Terminals store punches and sync when power and network return. A small UPS covers short cuts.
Do staff need to be trained?
Enrolment takes about a minute per person, and we train HR and managers on the reports.
Fingerprint or face recognition: which is better?
Both are accurate on good terminals. Fingerprint suits most offices and is familiar. Face suits gloves, hygiene areas and fast flows. Many terminals offer both, plus cards as a backup.
How much does a time attendance terminal cost?
It depends on the terminal type, the number of staff and the software. See our biometrics page; we quote after a free survey.
